Manchester City may no longer be in command of their own fate in the Premier League, but they now have the opportunity to put pressure on their rivals. Should City continue their perfect home record in the league, they will lead the table on goal difference, with United returning to action at Ewood Park on Monday. All the same, beating Sunderland will not be elementary, even if Martin O'Neill had his first serious set-back when his side was beaten 2-0 at home by Everton in the FA Cup sixth-round replay on Tuesday night.
